WIE Connect is a recurring Women in Entrepreneurship community-building event hosted by Origin Ventures Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership. It provides a venue for women to connect to resources, people, opportunities and networks in the Illinois entrepreneurship ecosystem and for women entrepreneurs to present to a supportive community and obtain feedback on their ventures. Events include a 6-min presentation by an entrepreneur, a 20-min interactive Q & A between the presenter and the community, and time for making connections during a mixer with light refreshments. Featured guest speaker is Gies Business Alumna Hilary Pham who will present her company Equability.
